It's actually hard to believe...
Luke the Duke turned 11 years old this week!
Lordy, where does the time go?
Luke has been a huge blessing to our family...
I don't think the laughter has stopped from the moment he was born..
he has a gift for entertaining and we celebrate his fun and wonderful spirit!

How's your summer so far?
I hope you are living life to the fullest...enjoying some
good food, good wine and wearing some cool summer fashion!
I picked up the Summer edition of my
new favorite magazine, Entertain and Celebrate!
This is now the one and only magazine I splurge on
and it's so worth the price!
This is going to be perfect for our July 4th gathering.....
Bath and Body Works held it's huge 75% off sale and even
though I said I was not going to buy any more candles...
well, I couldn't resist two of my favorites at $10.50 each...
Black Cherry Merlot..which has notes of
Decadent Dark Cherry
Black Raspberry
Sumptuous Merlot
Pink Petal Teacake..with notes of
Pink Rose Petals
Pound Cake
Vanilla Glaze
I received my Grove Collaborative Box
for Summer and ordered their Mint scented
hand soap and all-purpose spray cleaner....divine I say!
Oh my goodness....you will want to try the Coconut Pineapple Ice
sparkling water drink....this is a light, crisp taste of Summer!!!
We love our country biscuits in the morning
topped with butter and blackberry jam.....
Saturday night dinners will often be our favorite
fresh gulf shrimp....gosh, makes me Mississippi !!!!!
We are loving spending time on our patio....
it's a lovely spot for entertaining.....
It was the darling's idea to add a new seating
area for just the two of us....love it!
The evening is our favorite time to unwind
and catch up with each other over cocktails.....
We have put a lot of effort in the backyard this summer
and feel it was well worth every penny......
We have another grand celebration coming up soon....
shopping to do and planning surprises....
oh the fun of being blessed with good family and lots of love!!!!
What a lovely outdoor space you have Betsy! I love your seating spaces, and thoughtful touches. Happy Summer!
